Re: [Jmol-users] ff3 vs safari.. again.. load
Angel has it exactly. Just to be clear, for ANY browser: 1) Never use jmolScript() during page loading. The applet won't be there. 2) Never run a Jmol script from the body onload event. On most browsers the applet won't be loaded yet. 3) If possible, put whatever start-up script you want to use in the jmolApplet() call itself. 4) If that is not possible for some reason, you have to set up the applet with a callback and have the script in the jmolApplet() notify JavaScript that it is working or done. That's generally unnecessary, though. Bob -- Robert M.

Re: [Jmol-users] ff3 vs safari.. again.. load
Bob,
That works, although I needed to sleep for 500 instead of 100. the
loadLigands() function is fired up by body onload=loadLigands();. I am
wondering if it's a case of safari browser does something different in
executing the body onload=... functions. It almost seems to me like
loadLigands() was executed before the applet finished initializing. Commenting
out callbacks does not help. Who knows what's going on with all that threading
business. But in any case, sleeping is a quick fix to it. Thanks.

no kidding! What's firing the loadLigands() function? A button? A callback
(that could be the problem -- not good to run jmolScript from a callback on
some platforms, I think).
Try using
setTimeout(loadLigands(''),100)
in whatever call is doing that. I know the quotes are pain there. You might
implement it this way:
function loadLigands(structure, trigger) {
if (!trigger) {
setTimeout(loadLigands('+structure+',1),100)
return
}
var load_script = load + structure + ;select all; spacefill 20%;
wireframe 0.35;;
jmolScript(load_script);
}
This starts a new thread so that the thread involved in the user clicking can
complete, and the load can go by a different thread.
But really, that's very odd.

Re: [Jmol-users] ff3 vs safari.. again.. load
Okay, so it's a safari issue. Onload timing is messed up that doesn't wait for
the page to actually finishing loading.

Heh, who'd thunk that geeksquad's darling browser runs too fast for even itself?

My experience is that yes, often the page finishes loading before the applet
fully loads, so
that sounds likely to me as the cause of the problem. And that's in Windows
(mainly Firefox,
but probably IE too) while I don't know much about threading and am certainly
doing nothing
about it on purpose
The safe way is not to do the script upon page load, but to include it the
jmolApplet() call
itself. That way, the processes are consecutive. (Not sure it this solution is
applicable to
your setup, see below.)
does not help. Who knows what's going on with all that threading business.
But in any case,
sleeping is a quick fix to it. Thanks.
The problem there is that the needed amount of sleeping time may depend on the
connection: not the same in local disk and local server tests than for a user
getting the page
and the applet across the ocean.
It could be like this:
body
script type=text/javascript
jmolInitialize(/submit/jmol-11.6.RC15/, JmolAppletSigned.jar);
jmolSetCallback(messageCallback,messageCallback);
jmolApplet([600, 450], 'load
file:///Library/WebServer/Documents/toy/vs_analysis/result0.mol2; select all;
spacefill
20%; wireframe 0.35; ' );
/script
or, if you need to keep it dynamic by using the function:
body
script type=text/javascript
jmolInitialize(/submit/jmol-11.6.RC15/, JmolAppletSigned.jar);
jmolSetCallback(messageCallback,messageCallback);
jmolApplet([600, 450],
loadLigands('file:///Library/WebServer/Documents/toy/vs_analysis/result0.mol2')
);
/script
with
function loadLigands(structure) {
var load_script = load + structure + ;select all; spacefill 20%;
wireframe 0.35;;
return load_script;
}
